Heart Valve Surgeries

Based on various reasons (mostly due to rheumatism), diseases which involve narrow heart valve, heart valve failure or both occur. Such diseases require repairing the heart valve or replacing in with a prosthetic valve. Valve surgeries are also performed by using heart-lung machine and 6 units of blood donation is required for each patient. The blood type of donated blood does not have to match with the blood type of the patient. Under normal conditions, the duration of staying in intensive care unit is 2 days after valve surgery. After medication treatment and diet are arranged, the patient is planned to be discharged within 8 to 10 days and the patient is called for follow-up examinations periodically.
